Today I finished a rock wall that I have been making for my 110 gallon.

I used egg crate and pond foam to create the structure. I then glued sand to the exterior and attached rocks with zip ties. Part of the cave is made with PVC. I have some pics to show the building process if you would like to see them.

I am not sure about cleaning yet. I haven't filled it with water yet or put fish in it.

Looks fantastic! setup a fugue to help reduce algae growth in your display and the only thing you will have to worry about is coralline algae which is what you want.

The final product looks great!!!

I like the idea because I'm tired of scrapping the back wall.

180 gallon build

I just finished building a rock structure for a 180 gallon tank that I recently bought. Attached is a picture of it. I used PVC to form a skeleton of the arches and then drilled holes in the rock so that I could slide the rocks over the PVC. I then used pond foam to cover the cracks in-between the rocks to hide the PVC and used sand and epoxy to make the pond foam look like the rocks.
